    Unless you spend most of your time driving in rush hour traffic. Then a manual just sucks.

    I know someone who can't even drive an automatic, but damn does she look good in the passenger seat.

    My wife drove a 5-speed Honda Prelude when we first started dating. One of about 500 reasons why I am a very lucky man.

    I have always had a manual transmission in my car. I know that if I lived in LA, I would probably feel differently. But I don't and damn, a stick is fun to drive. Plus it gives you an alternative to braking if you need to slow down and braking is not a good way to do it.

    I get preferences, me peeve is with those who have chosen to never learn the fundamentally easy basics. It goes up there with changing a tire.

    I would certainly never let any young person in my household start driving without this skill. What happens when you are out at a party, and you got a ride with someone that drives a stick. They drink too much, or get injured or sick. Do you ride home with them anyway? Why would anyone let themselves be vulnerable in that situation?

    Pet Peeves

    My wife and I were at the Auto Expo over the weekend. She really liked the Fiat 500L as a possible winter / bad weather car. The model on display had an automatic transmission. My wife's comment was that she'd only want one if she could get the manual transmission. Yep. I love her.

    Pet Peeves

    New pet peeve. Why does very old man at any fitness center/gym feel the need to hang out naked. Let's stand here naked talking to each other. Oh I have a towel, I'll put it over my shoulder. They just sit naked on the couches and benches.

    Agreed 100%. I've left two gyms because of this in particular. The towel over the shoulder especially gets me. I've concluded they either just don't care anymore, or they are actually trying to take over the gym.
